Old Fogey Goes Down The Mountain

Chapter 40: The offerings of the Taicang sect

Views:

Tuanjie really didn't know how to explain this to his master, and after being ashamed, he felt that it might be easier to continue to draw talismans.

Wei Chengshu inexplicably had to climb the ladder and continue to scrub the stele after being asked what he said in his heart. He saw Wei Xi's face full of "My disciples are really lazy", his face was gloomier than before, and Shu Wanrong also After getting tired from the excited state, he watched as Zhao Liang, a loyal believer of the Taicang sect, directed the porters to place the large incense burner in the position Weixi wanted.

There is a stone tablet on the left side of the entrance of the good yard and a copper stove on the right side. It's so outrageous that Shu Wanrong is crying. Is it possible that incense will linger in the house in the future!

Since Zhao Liang decided to donate the incense burner, he has also learned a lot about sects recently. He knew that the gods worshiped by different sects are not the same. At this time, he casually asked Wei Xi: "Xiao Xi, your sect offers the one. Which god is it? I donated the incense burner, do you want to donate another god statue to you by the way?"

Shu Wanrong almost suffocated when she heard it, but Wei Xi rejected Zhao Liang's kindness before she hanged Mingzhi: "No, you can't buy suitable ones outside."

This sounds a bit strange, Zhao Liangxin said that it is difficult to have to customize it? Shuozong also frowned. In fact, as early as Weixi promised Zhao Liang to donate the incense burner, he felt strange. The act of collecting the stone tablet can also be explained that Weixi hoped that the facade of the sect would be more beautiful, but the incense burner was used to worship the gods, and Weixi obviously could not believe in it. Any god, where is his incense going to burn

After seeing Wei Xi's refusal, he directly took out a talisman paper full of things, chanted a fire spell, and threw it into the empty furnace.

Shuozong saw a little bit of content on the talisman paper when he set the fire, and was strangely silent for a while: "Is this the eight characters of the birthday?"

Whose birthday? Weixi's own? It stands to reason that it is not unfeasible for a furnace that is worshipped without gods to burn its own eight characters to accept worship. After all, it is all the belief of the believers. In the past, even gods and Buddhas took this position...

But after seeing Wei Xi finish burning the piece of paper, he clapped his hands in a good mood, his chin raised slightly, and he said to Zhao Liang with a complacent expression, "Okay, this is what I sent my ancestors to get. Dao Tianzun, since you donated the incense burner, you can take the first incense stick."

Shuozong: "??"

He counted his memories over and over again, but he couldn't think of a constellation called Dao Tianzun, but Zhao Liang was half-hearted, and he was immediately flattered when he heard this: "This is really good! "

Ordinary people who buy incense burners usually go to temples and Taoist temples to buy some burnt incense ashes, but Zhao Liang forgot. ... Then how do I get in after I light this incense?"

There is a saying that the incense sticks badly, or burns well, will anger the demanding gods.

Wei Xi was very indifferent: "It's okay, just throw it in after lighting it up, he doesn't care about it."

Zhao Liang: "..."

Zhao Liang was a little hesitant, is it okay to serve incense like this? And the incense will definitely not burn out if you throw it in like this, it will be extinguished. But looking at Wei Xi's determined face, he felt that he was definitely not skilled in the other party. After thinking about it, he still held the incense with his hands folded, and worshipped the incense burner three times reverently.

He was not a believer before, and he really didn't know the origin of the Dao Tianzun enshrined by Weixi Zongmen, nor what rules he should abide by, so he obediently recited in his heart that the gods are above the believers asking for blessing. class words.

Strange to say, the temperature of the capital in the winter is obviously very low. When he finished saying these words and bowed down, he felt a warm wind blowing from his forehead, which made his body warm.

Zhao Liang was stunned by the warmth, opened his eyes, but saw nothing special.

Wei Xi was also a little strange seeing his behavior: "What are you looking at?"

Zhao Liang has no experience in offering incense in Taoist temples, so he has no way to compare. After thinking about it, he still shook his head: "Nothing."

This is probably the normal feeling of incense, and there is no abnormal reaction in the body, and the wind still blows him quite comfortable.

Zhao Liang thought about it this way. After praying, he carefully placed the three sticks of incense at the bottom of the incense burner. He was still a little worried. Can it be done without the incense ashes lying horizontally? It must be extinguished without burning for a while, which is very unlucky.

He pondered that he still had to look at any suitable Taoist temples nearby and buy some incense ash to come back. At this moment, Tuanyiyi on the other side picked up a phone call.

After watching and saying a few words, Wei Xi handed the phone to his eldest disciple, and said in a low voice, "It's Master Kuang from Lianduguan, and he said that Uncle Tan's person who asked to replace him has a clue."

Oh, it's the master of dual cultivation!

Wei Xi hurriedly took it over, this person can't be neglected, he also wanted to investigate the other party's double cultivation method: "Fellow Daoist Kuang, are you looking for me?"

Kuang Zhiming was blushed by him before, but now he was horrified when he heard his voice, and after being silent for a while, he didn't dare to greet him blindly. Daoist friends came to Liandu to watch that please, and several Taoist friends said that the mantra in Pleasebi looks more partial, not like Buddhist and Taoist methods, but more like the handwriting of Xiusheng Religion."

Wei Xi: "Cultivation of students?"

He was really unfamiliar with the teachings of other sects, so he turned to look at his disciple, the eldest disciple Tuan Yi was also confused, but the second disciple obviously knew the inside story, frowned and explained in a deep voice, "It's a new sect. , mainly infiltrated in the southwest region, and the main method is to teach qigong to believers, which has not been legally recognized by the government."

"Wow." Unity said, "Isn't this a cult?"

"Yes." Kuang Zhiming said, "We have already notified the police station of this matter, and it is considered to be over, so I specially called you to let you know, so that you don't have to worry anymore."

As he said that, someone seemed to be calling him on the other end of the phone, and Kuang Zhiming said with a pause: "Fellow Daoist, wait a moment, there are believers coming, I'll go ask the situation first."

He seemed to be in the lotus temple. There was a very noisy voice on the other end of the phone. It could be vaguely heard that it was the movement caused by the believers who entered the temple to burn incense. Wei Xi saw that he was empty and there was only one believer burning incense in the sect. , it sounds really enviable.

However, it didn't take long for Kuang Zhiming, who went to communicate with the disciples to come back, with a lot of complicated content in his voice: "Fellow Daoist Wei..."

Wei Xi: "What?"

Kuang Zhiming: "This believer has run into a wicked thing and came to ask someone to do it..."

Wei Xixin said why did you tell me this: "Huh?"

"...The address he said..." Kuang Zhiming's voice became more and more tangled, "It's the unfinished building in Harbour City."

Wei Xi: "?"

Tuanjie remembered it, patted his head and said, "Aiya! Master, isn't that our staff dormitory!"

Kuang Zhiming was speechless when he heard Tuanjie's words, the staff dormitory...

Tuanjie apologized very embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, maybe they moved to a new house and made some noise. You know that Beijing is so big, everyone lives quite far, and some live in Tongzhou. It's really impossible to finish the move in a while. I promised to put them on a day shift for a week during the internship period, and told them to move carefully and not burn furniture. I didn't expect it to be scary. I'm really sorry. Ah, I must call and criticize them seriously. Please explain it to the believer."

Kuang Zhiming said in his heart that I explained that people should be more afraid, right? Hearing it, it felt wrong: "Your group... That group of employees moved during the day?"

Unity: "Ah! That's not certain. It would be immoral to scare people off the night shift if they move at night."

Is it moral for you to ask more than 200 ghosts to move to the city center? Kuang Zhi had nowhere to spit out, and his voice became sullen: "... I think you should ask again. The time when this believer encountered problems was at night."

Wei Xi frowned, the newly recruited interns still don't understand the rules!

He immediately signaled the only believer to stay outside, and then brought the disciples into the room to call Uncle Shen. The ghost employees who have entered the company are currently in the internship period. Before they are assigned to posts, they will be assigned to Uncle Shen.

Uncle Shen climbed out of the phone with his long hair, and immediately expressed his injustice when he heard this: "Impossible! I divided them into eight project teams, and the team leader of the project team personally watched and carried out the move. , the results are directly related to their quarterly performance, and they are very attentive. Moreover, they recently moved in the daytime just for the sacrifices they received before moving in, and everyone has not allocated a room to live in, plus they are newly hired, In the evening, I hold a training and mobilization meeting for them, and every ghost has to sign in, there is no possibility of being absent."

Uncle Shen climbed into the phone, went back to the office, and brought back the sign-in book. Weixi opened it and found it was exactly what it said.

Since no one was absent, who was the one who frightened the believer in Lianduguan in the big night

"No!" Wei Xi closed the sign-in book, frowned and said solemnly, "It's about our company's reputation, so we can't just let the blame go."

So he dialed the phone back to Kuang Zhiming and motioned for Uncle Shen to explain to the other party in person.

Kuang Zhiming listened to the flickering ghost voice from the receiver: "..."

According to Wei Xi, this is the manager of their personnel department... The staff composition of Taicang Sect is really... so strange...

Uncle Shen is a veteran in the workplace and refuses to take any responsibility. He argues against the phone: "Dao Chang, although our company has just started, the management of employees is definitely in place. If you want to see the evidence, you can call me on the phone. Recite a psychic spell, and I will crawl over to show you our sign-in book now, there are definitely a lot of employees."

Crawling over... Kuang Zhiming silently held the phone away from his ears: "No, no need, I believe in fellow Daoist Wei."

"That's fine, that's fine." Uncle Shen smiled wickedly, "Thank you for your trust in our company. When you are free, I will definitely treat you to tea."

Listening to his polite words, Kuang Zhiming remained silent for a longer time this time.

Kuang Zhiming didn't want to doubt his company any more, but after the phone call came to him, Wei Xi still decided to take his apprentices to see the situation, mainly because Kuang Zhiming said that the believers who came to Liandu Temple were the one. The developer of the unfinished building is considered to be the landlord of his own staff dormitory. He has seen in the entrepreneurial code organized by Tuanyiyi that the relationship between the small company and the landlord still needs to be improved.

When he was going out, he happened to bump into Uncle Zhao who was also about to leave. Uncle Zhao heard that he was going to do something, so he didn't dare to delay his time, and walked out of the courtyard side by side with Wei Xi.

Before leaving, he subconsciously glanced at the incense burner at the entrance of the courtyard, and paused.

Huh

In the empty incense burner, the three incense sticks he had placed horizontally did not go out in the middle, but all burned out.

Uncle Zhao was quite surprised that it could burn out even if it was laid horizontally like this? Perhaps in response to his gaze, a familiar warm wind blew a little incense ash over his face, blowing over his shoulders.

Uncle Zhao was so relieved by the blow that he couldn't help turning his head and watched the blown incense ash drift past him towards Wei Xi's departure.

He sniffed the faint aroma that remained in the air and couldn't help thinking to himself, asking God to burn incense turned out to be such a feeling.

From this point of view, although the Dao Tianzun enshrined by Weixi Company is not well-known, it may be really spiritual.
